Douluo: Ruo Tuo Save Me

"Yu Song, help me throw this master and disciple out. They don't deserve to stay at Shrek Academy."

After beating Tang San, Flender spoke to Li Yusong, who had been watching the show behind him.

If not for the old friendship he still remembered, Flender would have wanted to kill this ungrateful wretch who had betrayed his master and ancestors.

You could use Shrek Academy's name to swindle people and bully the weak. But you could not be ungrateful...

Who knew when someone like that might stab him in the back?

If they truly taught such an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, it would be a disaster—especially for themselves.

"Fine. Where would be a suitable place to throw them?"

Li Yusong did not refuse. They obviously could not just toss them outside the main gate. It would look bad if others saw them.

"The farther, the better!"

Flender said sternly.

Li Yusong said nothing more. He picked the two of them up and headed out of the academy.

When they reached the main gate, Yu Xiaogang woke up. Without another word, Li Yusong slapped that idiot twice, knocking Yu Xiaogang unconscious again...

"Third Brother..."

Seeing Tang San and Grandmaster being taken away by Li Yusong, Xiao Wu hurriedly bit Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun cried out in pain and released her, allowing Xiao Wu to chase after them.

Zhao Yun: So you just refuse to use Teleportation, huh?

"This rabbit doesn't suit my grandson's First Martial Soul, and his Second Martial Soul already has a God-given Soul Ring."

"Ice Elder, take this rabbit back. See if anyone can use a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, then kill the rabbit and take its ring. As for the Soul Bone, set it aside for now and see whether my grandson needs it..."

Zhong Daoming said as he watched Xiao Wu run out of Shrek Academy.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring could not be wasted.

Ice Elder nodded beside him. They had already located a Hundred-Thousand-Year wind-attribute Soul Beast that had not taken human form. They were merely waiting for Zhong Li to break through to Rank 70 or Rank 80 before making their move.

As for this rabbit...

Meanwhile, Fire Elder was following Li Yusong, thinking about how to...

The Ownership of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring

After Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were driven out of Shrek Academy, Flender looked much better.

Ah.

He sighed inwardly. They had been brothers for so many years, yet time had worn away the other man's sanity.

Zhong Li was somewhat bewildered by Flender's actions. Yu Xiaogang and his disciple had been expelled from Shrek Academy? This had completely gone off the rails.

"Something unpleasant happened today, so let's dismiss for now. Anyone else who does not wish to remain at the academy should leave before class tomorrow. Oh, Zhong Li, come with me."

After saying that, Flender turned and left.

Zhong Li followed him. Sure enough, it was more or less what he had expected. Flender told him that he had mistaken him for someone else, and about Yu Xiaogang...

"Dean, don't worry. I won't blame the academy over this."

Only after hearing Zhong Li's answer did Flender finally let out a sigh of relief.

He hoped Yu Xiaogang could come to terms with things after leaving. As for that Tang San, there was nothing worth mentioning.

Xiao Wu had barely chased Li Yusong out of Shrek Academy's gates when Ice Elder stopped her.

He did not waste words on Xiao Wu. He knocked her unconscious with one palm strike, then sealed her Soul Power to keep her from self-destructing.

Carrying the unconscious Xiao Wu over his shoulder, he ran toward the family residence. Villains died from talking too much; as long as he did not talk, he was not a villain.

At that moment, Fire Elder had caught Yu Xiaogang and Tang San after Li Yusong threw them away. Without another word, he first crippled their cultivation.

He also removed and collected the two men's Soul Tools. Soul Tools were rare; even a mosquito was still meat.

Once he formally met Zhong Li, he could give them away as gifts...

Fire Elder brought the master and disciple to the Suotuo Soul Fighting Arena.

Given Fire Elder's cultivation, no one noticed how he entered Suotuo City and the Soul Fighting Arena.

Carrying Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, he appeared in the office of the highest-ranking person in charge of the Suotuo Soul Fighting Arena.

After Fire Elder presented the Zhong Family Token, the man immediately bowed to him.

"Greetings, Elder!"

The highest-ranking person in charge of the Suotuo Soul Fighting Arena was naturally not Qian Gu Wolong. His previous visit had merely been an inspection.

Aside from the five highest-ranking managers of a Soul Fighting Arena, every arena also had a chief administrator.

However, they could only manage the Soul Fighting Arena under their own jurisdiction.

This man also belonged to the family and wore clothing identical to Zhong Li's. Naturally, he recognized the family Elder's token.

"Treat these two honored guests well..."

(This part has been omitted...)

As the saying went:

Picking chrysanthemums by the eastern hedge, At ease, I behold the southern mountains. Why must chrysanthemums suffer so? To endure these two Double Ninths?

Leaving aside what Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were currently enjoying, Xiao Wu had been brought back to the Zhong Family by Ice Elder.

After returning to the family, Ice Elder hurried to find Zhong Daoxian, Zhong Li's grandfather, and asked him to convene a high-level meeting to discuss who would receive the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. As for the Soul Bone, that would depend on which part it was.

If it was a head bone, which Zhong Li already possessed, then this Soul Bone could be kept as an inheritance Soul Bone and passed down through the family. It could be awarded to those who made great contributions to the family or exceptionally talented geniuses.

Xiao Wu had also woken up by then. Feeling that her Soul Power had been sealed and that she had no strength left in her body, she was just about to say something when she saw a group of people discussing matters. Something about giving the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring to Hanliang...

The high-ranking Soul Fighting Douluo who had offered up the family inheritance Soul Bone several years ago for Zhong Li to fuse with was Zhong Tian's cousin.

He had just happened to break through to Rank 90 in the past few days and was preparing to hunt a Soul Beast when he was summoned to attend the meeting.

At the meeting:

"Hanliang, did you break through to Rank 90 these past few days?"

Zhong Daoxian smiled as he spoke to Zhong Hanliang. With his cultivation, he could naturally see Zhong Hanliang's current level. Neither more nor less, exactly Rank 90.

The other Elders also looked at him with smiles. They had already known the purpose of this meeting.

Only the person involved was still unaware.

Zhong Hanliang was the one who had given up the inheritance Soul Bone.

"Uncle, Hanliang is untalented. I only broke through to Rank 90 in my sixties."

Zhong Hanliang hurriedly answered modestly. Reaching Title Douluo at his age was already quite remarkable.

"You child, still acting so humble at your age."

Though he was already in his sixties and was still being called a child, Zhong Hanliang truly did not dare argue.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. That rabbit's Soul Ring is yours! Although it isn't particularly compatible with our Martial Souls, its Hundred-Thousand-Year quality makes up for that."

Zhong Hanliang glanced at Xiao Wu, who was trembling in the corner. He recognized at once that Xiao Wu was not human. The Soul Tool concealing her aura had already been returned to its owner, so her aura was directly exposed.

Everyone present was at least a Soul Fighting Douluo-level expert. How could her aura possibly remain hidden?

Zhong Daoxian did not mention the Soul Bone, but Zhong Hanliang understood why. His nephew Zhong Li had the potential to become a god, so high-quality Soul Bones naturally had priority for Zhong Li. He had no objection to that.

The opportunity to make one's ninth Soul Ring a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring was not something everyone had. Even in the Zhong Family, only one person currently possessed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring: the family head, Zhong Daoxian.

It was not that they could not find Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. With the strength of the entire family, locating one was not particularly difficult. It was simply not worth expending that much manpower and resources while risking casualties to hunt one.

It was not as if the family's experts had never suffered setbacks before. Even if they joined forces with the Gongsun Family, they could not guarantee success every time unless they mobilized a large number of Title Douluo.

But Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were not stupid. If they could not defeat you, could they not self-destruct? Once they self-destructed, even Title Douluo risked perishing.

Taking such a risk for one Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone was not a sustainable strategy... The key point was that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were rare.

Soul Beasts also grew rather slowly. Unless a family member was truly exceptional, the family would never take such a risk.

After glancing at Xiao Wu, Zhong Hanliang did not immediately kill the rabbit and take her ring. Instead, he asked the question that had been troubling him.

"Uncle, Zhong Li is a Twin Martial Souls user. His Second Martial Soul..."

The people present were even more satisfied with Zhong Hanliang. Even upon seeing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, he could still think of the family's future...

Zhong Hanliang's father also nodded in satisfaction. His son had a chance of becoming the next family head.

As family head, you could use your authority to give some benefits to your descendants, but not too much! Unless they were genuine geniuses, otherwise others would have objections.

Moreover, you had to make contributions to the family. Otherwise, no matter how high your cultivation was, you could not become family head. At most, you could be an Elder or an enshrined expert.

As for Zhong Tian, who had run away from home... no matter how high his cultivation became, he could never inherit the position of family head. Unless Zhong Li became a god and spoke on his behalf... After all, a god-level expert could protect the family for tens of thousands of years. At that point, it would not matter who became family head...

After Zhong Daoxian briefly explained things to Zhong Hanliang, he finally understood. So that was how it was...

"Thank you for the recognition, Uncle and Elders..."

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring...

To be continued

The Imperial Fighting Team Comes Knocking

Seven days had passed since Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were thrown out of Shrek Academy and Xiao Wu chased after them.

Over those seven days, no one else left Shrek Academy.

Shrek Academy had returned to how it used to be.

Zhao Wuji had also returned the day before. He had dealt with everything that needed handling.

But they did not know that Xiao Wu had already become a Soul Ring and a right-arm Soul Bone.

This created another Title Douluo who possessed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

Early that morning, Shrek Academy welcomed nine people. They were the members of the Imperial Fighting Team and Qin Ming. They had made plans with Zhong Li earlier, intending to come after getting settled...

"Teacher, don't tell me this is your alma mater? This... just how poor does it have to be?"

Yufeng stared at the words "Shrek Academy," pieced together from old wood, and fell into deep thought.

Just how poor did Shrek Academy have to be to look like this?

And their teacher had come from such an academy. As nobles, they had completely lost face!

Qin Ming smiled helplessly. How could he not understand what Yufeng meant? Shrek Academy truly was poor, but there was not much he could say.

"Although this place does not have as many resources or simulated cultivation environments as Heaven Dou Royal Academy, its teachers would rank at least in the top five among academies in the Heaven Dou Empire."

Shrek Academy had three Soul Sages and two Soul Emperors. One of them was even a Food System Soul Sage, so that was not wrong.

"Shrek Academy hasn't even registered with the Heaven Dou Empire, has it?"

Yufeng muttered quietly.

But aside from Ning Rongrong, who among those present was not a Spirit Master above Rank 30? How could they fail to hear him?

Qin Ming's face darkened. What he hated most was people insulting his alma mater, and this person was his own damn student. Damn it!

Only after digging a pit for Yufeng in his mind did Qin Ming feel a little better.

Yu Tianheng hurriedly pulled Yufeng back and told him to stop talking. Was he really that dense? Could he not read the room? This was their teacher's alma mater, after all.

"Why would Brother Zhong Li come to study at Shrek Academy? Logically speaking, he reached Rank 43 Soul Ancestor at twelve years old. The faction behind him should be doing everything they could to nurture him..."

Yu Tianheng voiced everyone's doubts. Before coming, they had thought Shrek Academy would be incredible. But this was it?

Qin Ming also wanted to ask Dean Flender how he had managed to trick a monster like Zhong Li into joining Shrek Academy.

"Well, if it isn't little Qin Ming. You're doing pretty well for yourself now!"

Zhao Wuji walked over to the academy gate at that moment. The instant he saw that little pink-haired fellow, he recognized him.

When Qin Ming saw Zhao Wuji calling him over from Shrek Academy's entrance, he hurriedly ran over and gave Zhao Wuji a deep bow.
